Nikon camera blurred?

I recently asked about my blurred photos on my Nikon d3200 and got told to higher the shutter speed but it doesn't give me that option on any settings

You CAN set shutter speeds on that camera. You need to be in either Manual mode or Shutter priority mode. Consult the owners book.

Of course it does

Set your camera to the manual mode "M" and then use the cameras lightmeter to pick a high shutter speed and appropriate lens aperture.

You need to spend some time with your camera in one hand and your user manual in the other. Spend some time adjusting the shutter speed and the lens aperture which produce good exposures. Some will be slow shutter speeds with small apertures which will of course cause blur. Others will have fast shutter speeds with wide open lens apertures and will show NO blur at all.

For now spend time on page 57 in your user manual and learn how to adjust your cameras shutter speed and lens aperture

Wow!

If your camera is new, less than a week old, you can still return it.

The manual should teach you how to change the shutter speed on some shooting modes but if you are one of those people who believe reading the manual is for wimps, your next best solution would be to shoot only under ideal lighting conditions (very bright light) to force the camera to use a faster shutter speed assuming you're not one of those guys who think shooting in Auto mode is lame.

You need to get out the manual for your camera and study it. To say that a DSLR has no way to adjust the shutter speed is beyond ludicrous! You should give the Nikon to somebody intelligent and buy a cheap point and shoot.

The first thing you should do is make your self a nice warm beverage like tea of coco. Then sit down with your owners manual and with your camera at your side, read it from cover to cover.

The D3200, as with All DSLRs ever made in the history of the world, has at least two different ways of adjusting the shutter speed.
1) Use manual mode
2) Use Shutter priority and turn the dial to a faster shutter speed. However, you need to be cautious of choosing a shutter speed that is too fast for the amount of light coming in through the lens. As you increase/decrease the shutter speed, the camera will compensate for the increased or decreased amount of time the light will shine on the sensor by either increasing or decreasing the size of the aperture. You need to use larger apertures (smaller number like f/5.6) as you increase the shutter speeds. If you decrease the amount of time the light shines onto the sensor, you have to increase the intensity of the light to prevent underexposure. All lenses have a maximum aperture size and it's very easy in most situations to pick a shutter speed so fast that the lens can't allow in enough light to maintain a good exposure. For example, lets say that you're in shutter priority and you choose a shutter speed of 1/500th and the camera indicates that an aperture of f/5.6 is needed. With a kit lens f/5.6 is it's largest aperture so if you were to increase the shutter speed to 1/2000th, you would get an underexposed image because the lens can't open up any more than f/5.6 and you need f/2.8 at 1/2000th. Your camera tells you this by blinking the aperture or shutter speed (if you were in aperture priority) telling you that the required aperture or shutter speed is beyond the capabilities of the lens or camera. All DSLRs do this and it's explained in the owner's manual.

If you use aperture priority and the use exposure compensation, the image will be brighter or darker due to the camera using the shutter speed to increase or decrease the exposure.

You seriously need to sit down and read the owner's manual and a book on the fundamentals of exposure and photography. Your question is like asking if my car has a way of increasing the speed. Of course it does, they all do.

You seriously need to read your camera's manual. It has everything you need to know about how to set the shutter speed and many other things that you might want to do.
